Humans are more important than nonhuman animals….. to humans. Cows I expect would think their brethren are more important to them than humans.

But more importantly they’re animals who want to live. They have a preference to not die, just as all animals do. They pine for weeks when their children are taken from them. They have very strong maternal instincts.

There was a cow who was rescued from a dairy farm who was pregnant. She gave birth at the sanctuary, and she hid her baby (Valentine because she was born on Valentine’s Day). Every time the sanctuary workers would find Valentine, she’d move her. I can only imagine she was afraid that they would take her. The sanctuary is edgars mission. I can’t remember the name of the mum. Might have been clarabelle?

Remind me again how animals are unthinking automatons?

Humans are more important than other animals exactly in the same way your sibling is more important than a rando in another country.

The fact you'd pick your sibling before a stranger in a trolley problem doesn't mean you get to exploit, abuse, mistreat them or shoot them for a burger. Same goes for non-human animals.

Why are humans more important than animals?

Humans aren't more important than animals unless you strongly believe might makes right, which I'd hope you don't. Just because you can do something to other animals doesn't mean you should.

I'm sorry, English isn't my first language. Why does "other females" not include female animals? I don't see it. And even if it's kinda odd, why would you take a meme so literally?

No, no I sincerely apologise. I forgot that the majority is always right. Stupid ass vegans and their moral implications.
